Durian Agar Agar Mooncake

As durian is still in Season I would like to share this Durian Agar Agar Mooncake that I've made during the weekend. The method is exactly the same as the Lychee Agar Agar Mooncake that I made last year. Hope you will love it.

1/2 tsp Egg yellow color (the filling color that I made was too light because I only added 1/4 tsp egg yellow color)

Boil water, sugar salt and agar agar powder together and keep stirring the agar agar liquid with a hand whisk at medium heat.

Add durian flesh, mix well then add full cream milk and let it boil again ~ off heat and add in egg yellow coloring, continue to stir for another 3 minutes. Pour filling liquid into a 8" cake tray to set.

After the filling is set, cut to required size and use a small knife roughly scratch the surface lightly.

I miss eating this type of refreshing mooncakes and even better having durian in it. I have a question. Do you have to let the agar agar set up a bit before putting the filling in and then pour in the rest of the agar agar on top?

Ann, these sound so tempting! Durian agar-agar mooncake! Hmmm....Today, I saw some durian flavour lotus paste at the store but not going to buy it. My kids prefer the dragon fruit flavour paste. All other lotus paste already sold out. Hopefully, the new stocks will be coming in soon.Enjoy your evening.Cheers, Kristy

Ann! I think my heart just skipped a beat! I love durian and I love these durian mooncakes. To be honest, I'm not a huge mooncake fan (long story) but these definitely are no ordinary mooncakes! My gosh I want some right now! I'll surely have to bookmark this. Thank you for sharing. These are beautiful!

Ann, you're so lucky to get all those flavour lotus paste! I'm so envy! The store owner said they don't want to keep stocks for other flavour fillings and some more the mould patterns also limited. Btw, do you know where to get butterscotch chips in S'pore? Jess @ Bakerlicious are also looking up for me but I think maybe you know better since you cook very often. Thanks alot!Kristy

Congratulations on making the Food Buzz top 9! Your mooncakes are lovely! I would like to try to make agar agar mooncakes, but need to find a mold, that's why I didn't try making these yet. I made some other ones without a mold and they tasted fine just not as pretty! I have never tried durian yet, it's on my list! I really want to make your lychee ones or maybe use passionfruit or guava (I have guava paste).

Again these are stunning and it really makes me want to take a bite! Yum!!
